CRICKET

Worcestershire have shown an interest in signing the South African pace bowler Allan Donald if he rejects the chance to stay with Warwickshire as a coach.

Australia warmed up for their tour of the West Indies, which starts later this week, by cruising to a six-wicket victory over New Zealand with 18 overs and five balls to spare in the final of the New Zealand Cricket Centenary series yesterday.

Moin Khan, the Pakistan wicketkeeper, yesterday took five catches against Zimbabwe in the third and final one-day international in Harare to equal the wicketkeeping record for the most dismissals in a limited-overs match. Aamir Sohail was taken to hospital with a torn back muscle in the game which Zimbabwe won to level the series after the first match ended in a tie.
